Queue is broken

I don't know what happened after the last edition of Whitestrake's Mayhem, but ever since then the queue for Gray Host is broken. Friday night (2/20/2026) was the worst I've seen it since the old 200+ "Midyear Mayhem" days. Everyone was talking about how the queue was ridiculously long (even for a Friday), and worse - took FOREVER to get through. I myself started in queue at 4:30pm PST at #72 aiming for a 6pm PST guild raid, and it took me over an hour and a half to get into Gray Host. Other people in guild chat talked about being in queues of over 100 and some missed the raid entirely. How are people supposed to plan for a scheduled raid like this? And while Friday was the worst it has been - it's been somewhat like this every night.
It's not as though there are hundreds of new people coming into Cyrodiil - at least not as evidenced by the names I see 1) when fighting 2) in my kill feed, and 3) in zone. It's the same names as usual for that time slot. If there are, great and congratulations, but it doesn't seem like it. What happened? My armchair theory is that the pop-cap must have been expanded for Mayhem and when the event was over it was brought back to pre-testing levels or something, but I have no idea. Anyway if you guys could fix whatever broke it'd be great.
Cheers.
